I got the Pro Auto Disk & double disk kit, and am having trouble with it spilling power on the downstroke, after the carrier has lowered the shell from inside the die.

Has anyone else seen this before? Is my die setting/depth perhaps wrong? It acts as if all the powder has not flowed out and into the case before the case is backed down and out of the die. I'm making sure I pause at the top of the stroke, and even tapped the measure while in the "up" position.

Yes, the setup appears to be correct including the orientation of the hopper. I also noticed when I removed the measure and die, there is lots of powder sticking inside the drop tube and measure. Not sure if that's related or not.

I remember reading something about static stick. It said to wash everything in a detergent like 'Joy' etc, but NOT rinse-just let the soapy water dry. This forms an anti-static film on plastic/nylon type parts. I never did it because I don't use flake power-but it seems reasonable.

Looking at my powder measure thinking about this. I don't use the disks so purely guesswork. If the hopper is oriented correctly, the disks are situated on the actuating arm in the slot, maybe the disk orientation. If using two disks and different size holes on each disk a smaller hole on the bottom maybe would cause the powder to bridge on the top of the smaller hole size until the case cleared the bottom disk. Wild guess maybe.

Another way to reduce the static and powder sticking is to fill the hopper all the to the top with powder and set for the largest charge you can and cycle all the powder out. If you do that two or three times no more static cling...Thats the way I've done several of them and it works better than the dryer sheet thing ( that never worked for me). Whatever you find be sure and share with us. Good luck.

Well, I seem to have things working, but with the Varget powder. I took everything apart, cleaned the H335 powder out of the charging die and the insert in the die (drop tube?); the powder was sticking everywhere inside the die & insert. I then reassembled everything, and made sure the adjustment allowed the disk hole to slightly pass over the drop hole into the die. My suspicion was that maybe I had the disk travel off a bit so it would not flow properly.

Anyhow, I managed to load 50 cases with Varget and got almost no spilled powder. The few times it did, it seemed that I was working the press too fast and not allowing time for the case to fill before lowering it. Once I noticed that and slowed down, then paused at the full up position it did not leak at all.

I'm going to finish loading these 50, and then try the H335 again and see what happens. I'll post another update to let everyone know how that goes.

Oh yea, mailed the Perfect Powder Measure back for warranty....we'll see how that goes.
